Re: Battery pack for in-flight use
I have now purchased, and am charging for the first time, one of the Paul C. Buff Vagabond batteries. A question, because my eyes glaze over when it comes to electricity. Am I correct in thinking that I can operate my CPAP (PR System One) without the humidifier WITHOUT the inverter attached to the ...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
So far: I just received a DC female adapter for a small battery pack that I have had for some years now and I had success with it. It is the Tekkeon myPower ALL 3400 Universal Rechargeable Battery (now discontinued - but a newer model is available). http://www.tekkeon.com/downloads/UG_mpALL_33_3400...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
Lithium is considered a hazardous material. There are restrictions to how much each person can carry on board an airplane. Lithium is used in primary cells and is limited on airplanes to 1 gram per cell and a total of 2 grams for a battery pack. I asked Qantas about this sealed lead acid battery an...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
Forgot this, I was looking at batteries suggested in the posts and liked the size of this one but there is no brand name. Has anyone used it? I have never heard of the company either. http://www.cpapxchange.com/travel-cpap-battery-pack-respironics.html I have been communicating with them and they h...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
So far: I received a "service required" error message when using a fully charged CPAP.com battery with the 60 Series DC adapter cord. Concerning a CPAPSupplyUSA battery: http://www.cpapsupplyusa.com/CPBPack-CPAPBatteryPack.aspx the CPAPSupplyUSA rep stated that "it will not run the 60 series we have...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
The information they are putting on their site indicates they use the same battery in their 60 series and 50 series kits and the difference is just the power cord they include. Which new/different power cord? I bought a new 60 series something because the connection point on the 50 series and 60 se...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
This is the battery that I have https://www.cpap.com/productpage/cpap.com-lithium-battery-pr-12v-dc-cable.html It plainly states not compatible with 60 series. You are absolutely correct and this is where I have been confused. Yes, that battery kit states "Non-Compatible Machines. This battery kit ...

Just a quick note. I am not the only one encountering this and it isn't a new problem.

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
If you read the specs for the Paul C Buff Vagabond Mini, it specifically states it is not for use for modeling lights. That suggests that it won't be satisfactory for the CPAP application. Call them for clarification before ordering. I did notice that and I read through the web site information. ht...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
What's with Qantas? Is their restriction based on the current spate of Li battery issues? Is it against transporting them, or using them in-flight? Is it agaisnt all batteries, or just Li batteries, or just certain amount of available power in a group of them? It hardly makes sense since that is a ...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
Then you probably know, you can still get benefit from leaving the humidifier attached and part of the airflow with water in it? All you need to do is unplug the power connector that goes from it to the main unit. Just saw this battery pack specifically for the 60-series on the forum home page. I b...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
its time to use a voltmeter to measure the problem battery before and when the cpap is turned on a low voltage will behave as you have described Good idea except that I have already returned the CPAP.com battery. If they are reading this maybe they can run the test on it ... I will test things in m...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
The battery kit comes with a plug for the CPAP and it has a plug at the other end that fits in a car cigarette lighter. The battery pack itself has a receptacle that is identical to the car cigarette lighter receptacle. So the machine can be plugged into either a car's 12V receptable or the battery...

Re: Battery for PR System One REMstar 60 Series CPAP ??
The battery should not be a problem. It is exactly the correct one. I have the same setup and battery and they work fine. It must be defective. You should be able to get it exchanged. You are not trying to use the humidifier, are you? You cannot use the humidifier on battery. I'll call cpap and tal...
